Namibia: New Trusteeship Reality Under Fima
[New Era] For most employees, being nominated or elected as a trustee of a retirement fund is viewed as an honour. And rightly so.

In Namibia, the role of a retirement fund trustee is undergoing a significant transformation with the implementation of the new Financial Institutions and Markets Act (FIMA). Previously seen primarily as an honorific position involving broad fiduciary duties to protect members' long-term savings, trusteeship is now a more defined and regulated responsibility.
